Open Forum on Shared Governance

Tuesday, May. 22, 2012

On Tuesday, May 22, the University Coordinating Committee (UCC) and I hosted an open forum on shared governance to listen to feedback on the document, "Recommendations to Enhance Shared Governance." I am grateful to all who attended for their thoughtful questions and constructive suggestions about the document, which was distributed to all faculty and staff in an email on May 17. If you were unable to attend the forum and have comments on the document, we invite you to send your feedback to Mike Meyer, chair of the UCC, by Friday, May 25. Following the UCC meeting on May 30, a revised draft will be prepared based on the feedback received. We will then send faculty and staff an online survey to gauge support of the revised recommendations. Our hope is that these recommendations will be agreed upon for ultimate adoption and implementation beginning in the fall.
